ok i know i havent updated in a while but i have a good reason! I'M BACK HOME!!! and i've been too busy seeing my friends and family to go online. its been a week exactly since i got back. went back to tj with navleen and the sis to collect my A level cert, but actually i just went to experience,once again, the wonder that is Bedok South Food Centre. mee pok, fishball mee and popiah....which pretty much made up 2 years worth of lunches in that school. met ez and muni after that in town to eat tim tams, cam whore and plan the rest of my 3 week vacation.oh and i finally finally finally bought Shantaram. its awesome so far, but its been put on hiatus so i can read Giggs' biography(thanks aga!!)

wednesday i met up with p10 and had wonton mee and teh peng which was pretty darn awesome considering it only cost me 4.70 and tasted damn good. went to sit in istana park after that just to chat and catch up. i love just sitting somewhere with friends and talking. its the best feeling.

thursday was spent in the salon...doin my hair. 6 bloody hours...and 1 book later(The Kite Runner - wonderful book) and now i have nice straight, manageable hair again. :)

my dad came back on friday morning. it was so so nice to see him again. mum cooked up a big lunch and then we had a really great dinner at Olive in labrador park. i think my mum wanted me to stay home cos my dad was there, but he had a convenient conference call with his boss, so i took the opportunity to go to clarke quay with navleen and tina. MoS was shit(AGAIN...why am i so unlucky??) so we went to sit at Cafe Iguana...tina said she needed to "get happy" so we shared a mango macho margerita which was very very yummy, as were 2 boys sitting across from us! haha. tina had her eye on one of them...navleen got called a bulldog. HA.

met sandhya after she finished work and we went to this bhangra club: Rupee Room, where we each met ppl we knew, whether we liked the ppl we saw was a different thing(hur hur)...it was really good fun, cos being malayalee, sandz and i had no clue what the songs were so we just made up our own random dance moves. best part: WE ARE CHEAPO AND IT WAS FREE....so yay!

saturday i went to one of my favourite places in singapore...the national stadium at kallang, for the last ever football match that was being played there before they demolished it. singapore kena hantam by australia 3-0, but it was alright. had a nice ramly burger and then went to the airport to see my dad off. man, kallang holds so many good memories for me- dancing in the rain, cheering cedar on til my throat hurt and i had no voice even though Choir SYF was like, in 3 days, going for Tiger Cup matches, National Day parades. i'll be so sad when it finally gets demolished. will definitely go for the cedar photo taking there before i go back to melb.

sunday was dinner with the family. more camwhoring with the cousins, and a good opportunity to see everyone in one go before i have to go back to school, aunties, uncles, cousins, family friends, relatives whose names escape me...typical indian family gathering la.

and today. the mother of all good food days.first lunch with bob,aga and arlene at fish and co, catching up on 1105 gossip and stuff...then met ez, sandz, muni and anita for dinner at Simpang which is this great food joint in bedok, where you sit under the trees and eat the best food that singapore has to offer...prata, satay, roti john, kebabs, mee goreng, nasi briyani, milo dinosaurs, teh peng...man...i ate a massive kebab, one milo peng and 1 teh peng and it only cost me 7.50. and i was stuffed after that...you have no idea how good it felt to say: Uncle one teh peng...how much ah?? hahaha and it tasted so good. and anita...spoke better malay than everyone else there: Uncle dua teh tarik, satu teh peng, satu ice kosong, satu ice lemon tea. hahahaha and all that only came to 4.70. God how i miss cheap good food.

sat there from 7-1045 just eating, taking pics, talking, laughing, bitching, planning...everything. i felt completely content. happy day.

ok i know i've probably bored you all with my stupid day by day recap, but i just love being back in singapore, despite the gross humidity ( i wear nothing but shorts and slippers out now) so i want to tell everyone(the 5 or so ppl that read this lol) about what i'm up to. sorry this is how its gonna be til im back in melb.
